the best time of year for travelling in suzhou is in spring or in autumn.April.May or in september or October.the silk in suzhou is very famous in the world.but the best dressmaker in china can you maybe find in shanghai,the modernst city chinas,100km far away from suzhou and one of the two major internation Airports for most foreign travelers.here can you find the modernst clothes ,every luxury goods and with the convenient traffic facilities you can very quickly and easy from shanghai driving to suzhou and hangzhou,the another famaous city because of silk and tourism.Just as there is paradise in heaven, ther are Suzhou and Hangzhou on earth."following a very famous chinese proverb,but all the foreigner ,when they want to travel in suzhou or Hangzhou,must land in shanghai and dirve or take a train to their destinations.

Eh, the "wedding dress" street is Huqiu Lu, the road leading to Tiger Hill.
However, most people come here to tailor-make their dresses, not buy off-the-rack. Especially if you're looking for dresses that would fit Western figures, they wouldn't be selling them off-the-rack here as they wouldn't fit the majority of the local clientele.
Travel Tips for Suzhou
Suzhou Silk Museum
by sugarpuff
For just 7yuan entrance fee, I could tell I was going to like this place straight away!!!! Our taxi driver had some difficulties finding the main entrance, why I don't know as it was pretty obvious! It's quite a good museum because everything is clearly marked in Chinese and English making the whole tour more enjoyable. It starts with the legendary inventor of silk, Lei Zu who was the concubine of the equally lengendary Emperor Huang Di.It starts back in 4000BC up to the present showing reproductions of early silk patterns as well as pieces of the real McCoy!
There were silk making machines with demonstrators ready to show you how they were used. Cor blimey...you couldn't have a shaky hand working with that equipment!
The most interesting and also at the same time quite repulsive part of it all is the last room where you can see literally hundreds of silkworms munching away on mulberry leaves whilst spinning cocoons! Yuck!!!! It sent shivers down my spine!
Tongli
by Willettsworld
Tongli is located about 18km (11 miles) south-east of Suzhou. It was originally named Fushi (rich land) before being renamed Tongli meaning copper village during the Tang dynasty (618-907 A.D.). The old town is a delightful water town with a wonderful system of small canals and bridges which flow past traditional Chinese houses. As well as this, the old town features a few lovely gardens which are in the same mould as the ones you find in Suzhou. Getting there is very simple from Suzhou and only takes 45 minutes by bus and makes for a great day out from the big city.
